UNITED STATES DAVIS MARI'NSKY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HOOK AND EYE TAPE.

application filed March 21, 1922.. Serial No. 545,611.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVIS MARINSKY, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, in the county -of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hook and Eye Tapes,.of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same. Y

I This invention relates to hook and eye tapes and particularly to articles-of this class designed to be attached to garments, or the separate parts thereof, and the object of my present invention is to provide a novel method of mounting the hook devices and eyes in connection with the separate tapes or strips and for retaining said hook devices and eyes in connection therewith against accidental displacement; a further object being to provide an improved method of securing my improved hook and eye tape, or the separate parts thereof, to a garment and to secure the separate parts of each tape member together in such manner that but one line of stitching will appear, or be visibi when the tape or one member thereof is secured to a garment; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in an article of the class and for the purpose specified which is simple in construction and eflicien't in use, and which is constructed as hereinafter described andyclaimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accom. panying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Fig. 1 is a plan view showing two garment parts attached by m improved hook and eye tape, with part the construction broken away;

Fig. 2 a partial of Fig. 1;

Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views partially in section of .the separate tape members of section on the line 22 my improved article with the hook devices and eyes omitted, and showing the method of folding said tape members;

Figs. 5 and 6 are detail views showing the method of perforating one of the strips of each tape member and of attaching the separate strips prior to folding the same; and.

Figs. 7 and 8 are sectional detail views diagrammatically illustrating the method of attaching the hook devices and eyes to the separate tape members of my improved article.

In Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, I have indicated at 10 and 11 two garment parts adapted to be joined by my improved hook and eye tape construction, or article, which is composed of two tape members 12 and 13, the tape member 12 in the construction shown constituting the hook tape, while the tape member 13 constitutes the eye tape. The tape members 12 and 13 are shown in detail in Figs. 3 to (i inclusive, and in section in Figs. 7 and 8. The tape member 12 comprises two cloth strips 14 and 15, the strip 14 being provided adjacent to one side edge thereof with longitudinally and equally spaced apertures 16, and the other edge portion of said strip is folded as shown at 17 The strip 15, or one side edge thereof, is folded as shown at 18 and the strips 14 and are placed one upon another, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing, and attached by a line of stitching 19 which passescentrally through the apertures 16 in the strip 14 to provide between the separate strips 14 and 15 a plurality of spaced openings or passages 20 through which the hook devices 21 are adapted to pass. It will be apparent that the stitching 19 when it passes-through the apertures 16 will fail to stitch the separate strips 14 and 15 together, at these points to form the openings therebetween. After the strip 12 has been formed, as above set out, and the hook devices mounted therein in the manner diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 7, the strip 14 is folded upon the strip 15 in the manner shown in Fig. 3 and the part 10 of the garment is placed between the strips 14 and 15 andsecured therein by a line of stitching 22, which passes through the strips 14 and 15 and through the part 10 of the garn'ient, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and this line of stitching also serves to retain the hook devices 21 against displacement in the tape member 12.

The tape member 13 is composed of two strips 23 and 24, the strip 23 being folded at one side edge as shown at 25 and provided approximately centrally thereof with spaced apertures 26 corresponding to the apertures 16, and the strip 24 is folded at one side edge as shown at 27 and also folded approximately centrally thereof to form a flap 28, as clearly shown in Fig. 6 of the drawing, and the strips thus folded are placed one upon another as shown in Fig. 6, and is secured together by a line of stitching 29 passing centrally through the apertures 26 as in the construction shown in Fig. 5 and to form passages or openings 30 between the strips 23 and 24, where the apertures 26 are located. After the strips have been connected, as above set out, eyes 31- are passed through the spaces 30 of the, tape member 13, or the strips 23 and 24 thereof, are folded into the position shown in Fig. 4, and it will be noted that the eyes 31 are located between the flap 28 of the strip 24, and the side edge 32 of the strip 23, said parts being approximately of the same width and extending beyond the inner ends of the eyes 31 and are adapted to be stitched together as shown at 33, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 to hold the eyes against displacement in the tape member 13.

After the tape member 13 has been formed in the manner above set out, the garment part 11 is placed between the strips 23 and 24 as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing and is secured in position, or to the tape member 13 by a line of stitching 34 which passes through the separate strips 23 and 24 and the garment part 11. It will be noted that when the complete hook and eye tape is formed and applied to a garment, or the separate parts thereof, the tape member 12, or the strip 15 thereof, extends beneath the tape member 13 to form a closure flap 35, and the tape member 13, or the strip 24 thereof, projects beyond the edge of said tape member 13 and overlaps the flap 35 as shown at 36 to produce a neat and finished appearance.

It will also be noted that both tape mem bers, or the strips 14 and 23 thereof, are folded upon the lines of stitchings 19 and 29 respectively so that when said tape members are applied to a garment, or the separate parts thereof, the lines of stitchings 19 and 29 are invisible, and the only stitchings that will appear will be the stitchings 22 and 34, and this will also aid in producing a neat and finished appearance to the complete article which is very desirable in the manufacture of various kinds and classes of garments. It will also be understood that I am not necessarily limited to the specific form and construction of the separate tape members, or the strips thereof, and various changes in and modifi cations of the construction herein shown and described may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificin its advantages.
